Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.... and a TAG

Rome has the best fountains in the world, don't you think?  It's been really rainy here lately, and so I find myself entirely enamored with water.  As of late, it's the only thing I want to photograph.  But, I do have pictures to share of water that isn't QUITE so pretty.

That is the Tiber river, and because of all the rain, it's completely and totally disgusting.  It looks like clay when it moves downstream!  It was almost unbearable to look at; it was so sad to see it that way.  It's never really a beautiful river; usually it's a harsh green with litter floating along with the current, but it's still a shame that it looks that way.

I'm going to tag Annie, Valentine, and Will to take pictures of water and post them on their blogs!  Have fun, guys.  And if I didn't tag you, feel free to play along anyway!  I'd love to see your pictures.

Steps for a pleasant rainy day

Step 1:  Insert 1 cup of milk into one itty bitty pot.

Step 2:  Get some of this.

Step 3:  Put four tablespoons of that goodness into your pot.

Don't be shy.  Really, just drop em' right on in there.  Doesn't that just look so poetic?  It's.... an island of perfection in a sea of milk.  See, our rainy day is getting pleasanter already!

Step 4:  Turn on the heat to medium-low, and stir.  Don't fret when it starts to look really, well, ugly.

It's all just a part of the process.

Step 5: Stir until the pot steams and it loses all those lumps.  Pour into your favorite giant mug, but make sure there's lots of room because we're not finished yet.

That's what I'M talkin' about.

Step 6:  Make some espresso.  I've got a cute little espresso pot, but it'll be fine if you just make some extra strong coffee.  Whatever floats your boat.

Step 49:  Pour your espresso into your favorite giant mug.

Blurry photo of you pouring espresso into your favorite giant mug optional.

Step 332:  Don't drown in your favorite giant mug.

Step 947:  Do the dishes.  It'll make your mama happy.

And if you want to have a really pleasant day, go see this movie.  I'm still excited about it, and I saw it last night.
